I sure wouldn't throw bids on it just to get my name out there as one of the temporary high bidders and would also caution others against it. Just meant in the other post that it does happen and will artificially inflate the perceived market value of an item if it didn't make reserve. And wouldn't you be surprised if you bid below the presumed reserve and you saw the bidder status that reserve had been met
![]() Richard has been doing the right thing. He knows what he is looking for after all of these months and has researched prices and the factors he'd encounter with shipping from North America to the UK. Hold out and find the project vehicle that is right for you. It's out there waiting. Doing your own restoration, even if you farm segments of the work you can't do yourself out to a shop, will be more satisfying in the end. Rob's got the progression of stages down pretty good. Lots of highs and lows spread out over time. Works out better in the end since it gives you time for your busted knuckles, cuts and scratches to heal up. ![]()
